Score: 82/100
Ciays 28-inch Propane Fire Pit
Score: 82/100Rankings

The Cuisinart COH-800 is a compact stainless-steel wood-burning fire pit featuring Cleanburn smokeless technology, a removable ash tray, and a lightweight 22-lb design. Its limited fuel capacity and requirement for a non-flammable surface restrict larger gatherings. Perfect for balconies or small patios where low smoke and portability are priorities.

The Ciays 28-inch round propane fire pit offers 50,000 BTU, a removable lid, lava rocks, and external flame control, combining strong heat with a portable alloy-steel build. It lacks a cover and detailed ignition information, and its weight is moderate. Great for decks or patios where a portable, high-heat fire table with visual appeal is needed.
